well not 100% sure about this but i think the MX200 is a lesser version of MX where as a MX 400 is a suped up version of a MX. so go for the mx instead of the mx200.
Do not get the MX200 if you care about 3D performance at all. It's a crippled version of the original GF2 MX and will give you terrible 3D performance. The original GF2 MX will be much better.
Between the MX200 and the Voodoo3 AGP, again do not get the MX200. The Voodoo3 AGP will give you much better performance in everything, especially 3D.

A Voodoo 3 mildly overclocked will roach any MX based card in everything but the Nvidia-swayed 3DMark 2000 and 2001. In any real game I have ever played, the Voodoo is far smoother and better looking.

Yeah the voodoo3 solid driver and overall performance is good even till today.
Back to the topic, DO NOT GET the MX200, this is a crippled version of the original MX, if I remember correctly the MX200 suppose to have the 64bits SDR, and you should know what this means. I don't know what Nvidia is thinking, as if the original MX memory havn't hurt it enough already.
The Core for the MX400 is clocked higher 200 I think but feature the same memory as the MX. The higher clock performance is virtually nil.
If 2D is a big deal and not look for playing FPS in some high resolution I think the voodoo3 is a better choice for the price and 2D quality to (the voodoo3 does not support 32bits color).
OCn Man:
I doubt the mildly overclocked Voodoo3 will roach any MX based boards in D3d or OpenGL especially with TnL, fps wise.
I don't care about the 3dmarkblab blab blab, and definitely voodoo is better looking. Not only in games, even the Anandtech sign looked much better right now.

Good choice....the original MX's (Or MX300 as I like to think of them 
) are going nice and cheap at the moment.
The MX400 doesn't have a huge edge of the original MX anyway, like several people have said avoid the MX200.
Archknight, I was saying the same about the MX200 but you can see it from a business point of view, the TNT2 M64 was a popular integrated/OEM system card and it provides fine 2D quality and some slow but adequate for basic home users 3D Quality. the MX200 is the next generation on from that card.

I agree with 'OCnMan'. My Voodoo3 that I had had way better image quality than the 2 TNT2's I tried.

I didn't know the v3 was faster than the V4 4500....
The MX will a$$ rape the v3 in anything but the mildly 3dfx swayed unreal series (and any other glide based games)
When you talk crap you should back it up..

I have to agree with lsd there, the Voodoo 3 was an above average performer but I found it costly, I thought the V4 sucked and the V5 was quite good but a rip off.
The MX (a value card) can beat the V5 (a performence class card) in the Quake benchmark up to 1024x768x16 where it overtakes it just.
plus of course the V3 has no 32bit support and it's benchmarks show it's age.
